A smashing, hugely reassuring book by a smashing teacher (the author is himself an Early Years educator). Lydia Mba’s illustrations of the diverse community Olu joins when he starts nursery certainly make it look an exciting, enabling place to be. * Red Reading Hub * This delightful picture book is written by an experienced Early Years practitioner and acknowledges the common nervousness about starting at nursery and starting at school. I strongly recommend this beautifully illustrated picture book that can be used with young children and their parents as preparation for this significant moment. I also plan to use it with children who have made the transition as a way of reflecting on how they initially managed and thinking about what made them anxious/ what reassured them. I will also share it with Early Years students to help with their understanding of good practice and the importance of meeting the needs of individual children. * The Letterpress Project *
